lyrics

I bought two teacups the other day from some sweetheart old woman at the antique store. And oh baby, I thought, well wouldn't it be gay if you and me could settle down and love the Lord? Buy some shoddy old house out Game Farm Road, have five boring kids, a whole minivan load, our old lives, bad memories? Sometimes being a hipster is too complex for me.

Each Sunday at nine we would wake up the kids, and I'd put on my pearls and you your tie, and we'd haul everyone to the First Baptist Church, that glittering complex of shaming and lies. We'd enjoy the service, ignoring our sins, singing His praises, "Oh, let Jesus in!" Then we'd gorge on hamburger pie. We'd ask His forgiveness; we wouldn't ask why.

But I know you'd hate it baby, though I may plead, because you're too in love with the downtown life. You love waking up reeking of tequila and weed with a hangover banging through your rusty pipes. You couldn't wear girls' jeans or shoes stained with oil paint, read Christopher Hitchens, or smoke off of foil in my bible belt reverie. Sometimes being a hipster is too complex for me. Motherfucker, sometimes being a hipster is too intense for me.

ALOUD
by Advrb

ADVRB is Andrew Barton, my frequent producer. His stuff is all great earnest jangling wonder, and the new demo has some real kick to it (and is about his and my high school romance.) Pegasissy

Post-Empire
by Will Stratton

Will and I were pals in college. His songs and playing are so excellent and beautifully composed, and feel to me like going for a foggy walk in a Carhartt jacket. Pegasissy
